			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The book sales business is getting tougher and tougher with Amazon accusing Google of trying to gain monopoly. But funny thing, Amazon fails to look into their own yard.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1004" title="amazon-google" src="http://www.bandwidthblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/amazon-google.jpg" alt="amazon-google" width="570" height="260" /></p>
<p>The guys who have been busy selling online books at a loss just to gain market share &#8212; which is something that will not happen forever &#8212; are now accusing other companies for wrong intention. However, it&#8217;s interesting why the whole fuss since  Google caters to out-of-print books and doesn&#8217;t constitute a threat as of now.</p>
<p>Well it looks like Amazon (which is currently the largest seller of books online) is trying to cement their rank into the e-book industry, too &#8212; the only problem is that their Kindle is not yet popular &#8212; so the only solution was to play the smart game of pointing the finger at someone else.</p>
<p>You know Amazon, as much as we like you, we&#8217;re not dumb and we can figure out what you&#8217;re up to in the back.</p>
